Adoption of Cognitive Radio Scheme to Class-Based Call Admission Control

By using cognitive radio technology, opportunistic spectrum access has the potential to solve the underused spectrum problem. In this paper, by first introducing a specific cognitive radio scheme, we analyze the secondary user's capacity and the collision probability. Employing this scheme, we build two call admission control models for three classes of service, namely, handoff voice calls, new voice calls and data calls. We show that they achieve improved blocking probability and throughput by exploiting the cognitive radio scheme. Further, we show a tradeoff between collision probability and blocking/throughput in the call admission control.
